I Took My Girlfriend's MINI To A Track Day! F56 Cooper S + 380bhp R53 

With the Astra VXR out of action, the F56 Cooper S is my track day weapon of choice (or lack thereof). I got to ride in Shaun's 380bhp big turbo R53 Cooper S towards the end of the day, once the coolant leak was sorted out, and we had a play with a stripped out EP3 Type R on slicks, a Nurburgring VXR and a couple of proper race car minis. The F56 did super well, and barely saw any brake fade over 50 laps, even on stock discs and pads!
